but ohio is absolutely mitt romney must have it and i would say barack obama in a lot of ways to make his math add up if he doesn't win florida and doesn't win virginia needs it too. i went through and did the most likely scenarios for both sides and didn't realize i had done this, someone pointed out, the only difference between the two maps was ohio. one had barack obama winning one had mitt romney winning. i think obama remains a slight advantage particularly in those swing states but they are in ohio for a reason because it matters the most. >> ask you both what to watch for in the early returns. the polls are going to close, the first polls at 7:00, what are you going to be looking at? >> look for tea leaves in battleground counties not just? swing counties but counties where one side needs to run up the score big if they have a chance. virginia and ohio the two linchpins to this election. ohio the key to the race as chris suggested because if mitt romney found a way to win ohio suddenly the electoral advantage slips on its head. if he wins ohio he will be in the driver's seat. v

president obama called him out on that tactic today. >> right here in ohio, folks who work at the jeep plant had been having to call up their employers because they're worried. they're asking if their jobs are being shipped to china. and the reason they're worried is because of course it turns out it's not true. this is not a game. these are people's jobs. these are people's lives. the auto industry, they spend a lot of money advertising and branding and letting folks know that we're back and we're here in america and we're making american cars with american workers. and now suddenly you got a guy going out there saying, you know, something that is not true? you don't scare hard working americans, just to scare up some votes. that's not what being president is about. >> when romney isn't buying scared voters, he's making up a fantasy about working across the aisle? >> you know that if the president is re-elected, he will still be unable to work with the people in congress. i mean, he's ignored them. he's attacked them. he's blamed them. the debt ceiling will come up again. and shut dow

all scenarios assume states like michigan and ohio go for obama and romney carries arizona meenz. first scenario we look at would be new hampshire, ohio and wisconsin all going for president obama. and romney carrying all the other swing states. under that scenario both candidates would be at 269 electoral votes. the next scenario would be colorado, virginia and which is going for obama and the other ones going for romney. a third scenario would be new hampshire, north carolina and virginia all going for obama although this seems unlikely given most people see north carolina kind of leaning towards romney and virginia kind of leaning towards obama. those states would have to basically flip between now and election day. so those are three of the kind of most likely scenarios that we would see a tie one. >> if by some chance we had tie what would happen? >> well it's interesting. obviously this is something that hasn't happened here. we would send to it the house of representatives where each state would vote according to its congressional delegate, each state would have an equal vo
